Alongside this, they’ll study for a part time masters degrees or PhD, or work on secondments to do a ‘certificate of eligibility for specialist registration’ (CESR).

ULHT says it doesn’t have enough doctors to fill shifts in all three departments 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Dr David Flynn, clinical director in integrated medicine A&E and acute medicine said: “I am excited to be able to offer fully funded training to new doctors who join ULHT and help support them to develop their skills in emergency medicine.

“I hope these unique posts will help us stand out from the crowd and attract people to our hospitals and to the county of Lincolnshire.

“We are committed to providing our staff with all opportunities to excel and provide a tailor made plan for each of our team, allowing them to reach their full potential”.
